Wheels for Warmth

Save the Date: NEK Tire Collection October 22 and 23 2026

Since 2005, Wheels for Warmth has raised over $720,000 for emergency fuel assistance, sold 27,000 safe donated tires, and recycled 53,000 unsafe tires. The Wheels for Warmth team have also seen over 1100 volunteers contributing time from over 120 companies or organizations, resulting in over 25,000 volunteer hours!

Established in 2005, Wheels for Warmth has three goals: 
  1. Raise funds for emergency heating assistance for distribution through Northeast Kingdom Community Action, CVOEO, Capstone Community Action, SEVCA and BROC Community Action.
  2. Create a resource of DMV-inspected tires that are deemed safe for at least one season of use, to be sold to Vermonters in need at reasonable prices. 
  3.  Provide a convenient, inexpensive way to dispose of unwanted tires, reducing the number of tires discarded in rivers or along our roadways.  For event information, visit the Wheels for Warmth Website.
Used tires are collected at various locations around Vermont during the last full week of October. Donated tires can be dropped off at locations in Lyndonville, Barre, Mendon, Stowe and Williston. Donated tires are inspected by DMV officials and the tires that pass inspection are then sold to the public. Tires are sold as singles, doubles or full sets in Barre and Pittsford on the last Saturday of October.
